After several years of preparation, José Luis Hernández
Vázquez made a wonderful compilation of materials, gathered in the exhibition “Badminton in Art”, which has been traveling to different places in Spain.
The general purpose of the exhibition is to introduce visitors to the traditional “game of the wheel” by means of plastic resources that offer art and crafts and that correspond to more than five centuries of history. What is shown is a “documentary” story through images that allow us to see the evolution of the game of shuttlecock until it reaches the sport of badminton, its current generic name, and of the basic elements of the game such as the shuttlecock, the racket and the network that was introduced at the end of the 19th century.
